In this episode, I chat with the infamous Chef Ben (Benedict Lim or cooking withben_)! Ben has been working in kitchens and restaurants for over a decade now, and his generative expertise has led to the birth of hot spot restaurants like Lunch Lady (Toronto and Vancouver) and Nomo Nomo (Vancouver). We talk about his humble origins from working at Fantasy Garden in Richmond to opening up the Lunch Lady, what makes his restaurants unique, his acclimation to Toronto, kitchen horror stories, the challenges with starting a restaurant, his relationship with alcohol, cultivating a good work culture, what makes a good employee, embarrassing moments etc. Chef Ben and I hope you love the episode! Arigato gozaimasu!
